Reborn as an Extra

Great Freya Academy.

Morning, Next Day.

Rio slowly walked out of his dorm room wearing casual clothes. He went down the stairs and got out of the dorm building.

While standing under the blue and clear sky, Rio felt refreshed. Warm sunlight fell on him and made him feel cozy.

'Weather is nice today…' (Rio)

*Yaaawwwnnn~*

A familiar voice entered his ears when Rio was enjoying the refreshing air breeze.

He tilted his head towards the nearby bench and found a girl with golden hair leaning against the bench.

She looked sleepy yet extremely beautiful, even the atmosphere around her seemed to brighten up just from her presence. (These special effects appear in Rio's vision only, she doesn't radiate light… she is a normal person…)

With his usual expressionless face, Rio walked over to the bench and sat beside her without hesitation.

"Didn't get enough sleep last night due to excitement?" (Rio)

Lia was a little surprised by Rio's sudden appearance, but she didn't think too much of it, she was already used to him appearing out of nowhere all the time.

(He can control his presence extremely well… even now, Lia didn't notice him standing in front of her, until he started talking to her…)

At Rio's question, Lia awkwardly nodded her head at Rio.

"Y-yeah, something like that…" (Lia)

'I can't say that I was asking Mel for advice all night long!!' (Lia) (Mel is the name of her personal maid if you have forgotten about her…)

"hmm, I have a way to get you energetic in just a moment…" (Rio)

"mmhh?" (Lia)

While Lia was rubbing her sleepy eyes, Rio used his age-old 'hand cooling' method of using sword intent.

He immediately put his cold as-ice hand on Lia's cheek.

"Eeeek!!" (Lia)

Lia's eyes immediately opened wide and she jumped up in surprise like a frightened bunny.

The sudden cold touch made her wide awake and all of her sleepiness faded away into nothingness.

Only after a few seconds did she notice the mischievous grin on Rio's face and seeing that grin, she immediately pouted her cheeks at Rio.

"Hmph! Idiot! I am not talking to you anymore-" (Lia)

Before Lia could get angry at him, Rio brought out a 'chocolate bar' from his space ring and waved it in front of her.

"Eh, I was thinking of giving it to you… but well if you are angry then I can just give it to Riya later…" (Rio)

Lia immediately snatched the chocolate bar from his hand like a hungry wolf and her eyes shined brightly.

"W-well I-I will forgive you for now, cough…" (Lia)

Rio just grinned happily at her sudden change of heart after getting the chocolate. (Bro knows thousands of tactics to tease her…)

…

Academy's main gate

A luxurious car stopped at the main gate of the academy and a young boy with dark red hair got down from the car.

"So! Finally the day has come!" (Link)

Link smiled at Riya and stretched out his hand to help her exit the car. (He is trying to be a gentleman... it's kind of unbelievable that this same guy used to be a sadist villain who liked torturing people...)

Just when Link and Riya were about to enter the academy through the main gate, Link's personal butler Boris walked up to him.

"Good luck young master, I will be waiting for your triumphant return from the new mission…" (Boris)

Link grinned at him and said in an excited tone.

"Yes! I will be the winner! Hehe!" (Link)

"By the way, you guys can go on a vacation for now, it might take a bit longer for this mission to end…" (Link)

(The butler doesn't know about the meeting of gods, he just thinks that Link has to go on some academy-related event, like the group survival test…)

Link directly gave a vacation to his butler and all of his bodyguards.

At Link's words, Boris shook his head and said in a calm voice.

"No, we will be waiting and cheering for you, young master… we can't slack off while you are working hard…" (Boris)

"Haha, what are you guys saying, you have no reason to stay on guard when I am not even here!" (Link)

"But-" (Boris)

"It's my order~ you will have to comply with my orders~" (Link)

Link waved his hand and rushed away to put a stop to that conversation. He held Riya's hand and ran away.

"Sigh, if you give me an order... obviously I will be forced to comply…" (Boris)

Boris shook his head and stopped thinking too much about it.

He glanced at Link and Riya's fading figure one more time and then went back to the Rex mansion with the whole convoy.

…

Near Academy's teleportation altar.

Rio and Lia were the first ones to arrive at the teleportation altar, they both had the habit of getting up early and thus they both never got late on any occasion.

Rio brought out his handkerchief and wiped Lia's face, smeared with chocolate.

"You don't need to get so excited over the chocolate, no?" (Rio)

Rio was quite surprised at how fast Lia was stuffing that chocolate in her mouth.

"No! If Riya saw it, she will definitely pester me! I must finish it before she gets here!" (Lia)

'Sometimes she behaves a lot like a child…' (Rio)

"You don't really need to be so cautious, if Riya asked I will just give her another one…" (Rio)

"No! I will eat all of the ones that you have! Gimme all of them!" (Lia)

"huh… " (Rio)

Rio brought out a whole box filled with those chocolates and gave it to Lia, and she directly hid those chocolates in her own space ring.

Only after taking the chocolates did she calm down and stop rushing.

"You know, I could have given them to you one by one, there was no need to hurry like that… Or do you like them so much?" (Rio)

Lia just smiled awkwardly at his question.

"Y-you could say that… i-I like this brand a lot…" (Lia)

'How do I tell him that... I don't want him to give chocolates to other girls besides me!!' (Lia)

While Lia was conflicted about how to grab Rio all for herself, Link and Riya also arrived near the altar.

They were the second group to arrive.

"Yo! How did your training go Rio? You were holed up in the training room for half a month! You must have progressed a lot right!?" (Link)

Rio ignored Link patting his shoulder and replied in his usual emotionless tone.

"Hmm, you could say that now I am strong enough to blow you away with just a flick of my finger…" (Rio)

"You!" (Link)

Hearing Rio brag about himself like that, veins popped up on Link's forehead as he stomped the ground in anger.

"Forget it, I am not in the mood to fight with you right now…" (Link)

A smirk appeared on Link's face.

"By the way, my control over 'Dao Rhythm' has become much more stable now… I think it won't be long before I can control it properly…" (Link)

Even Rio nodded his head at Link's words.

"Well, legendary techniques are indeed very difficult to control, I find it quite difficult too…" (Rio)

'Says the guy who uses sword intent as hand-cooler…' (Lia)

Lia's eyes twitched at how nonchalant Rio was about his own insane expertise in 'Sword intent'.

'But the most strange thing is…' (Lia)

Lia glanced at Riya who was standing silently, she seemed to be lost in thought.

'She isn't stuffing her mouth with candies today? that's very strange…' (Lia)

Lia patted Riya's shoulder and asked with a gentle smile.

"Are you okay Riya, you aren't going to eat candies anymore?" (Lia)

Riya smiled at Lia's words and replied in a much calmer tone than her usual self.

"I-I have decided to put a hold on eating candies until I become better at healing…" (Riya)

Lia was quite surprised at Riya's sudden determination, but then she remembered the previous sad incident and stopped asking any more questions.

'It seems the incident affected her a lot more than us all… she might be under more stress and self-blame compared to us...' (Lia)

Lia nodded her head and said:

"Okay, you need to work hard and achieve your goals, but don't put too much stress on yourself, none of us blame you for anything…" (Lia)

At Lia's kind words, Riya nodded her head.

...

Time slowly passed and after a few minutes of wait, Liam and Ellie also arrived at the scene.

Liam landed on the ground and the shadow wings on his back disappeared into nothingness.

"Phew~ we made it on time… it took a long time to cook food for Ellie today…" (Liam)

"It was tasty though!" (Ellie)

"Well of course it was, I put all my efforts into it you know..." (Liam)

Liam nodded his head at Link and Rio as a sign of greeting.

Kira and Fade were the last ones to arrive at the scene they both were holding hands with happy expressions over their faces.

And at last, at exactly 9:00 A.M.

The members of the maintenance staff gave them an 'okay' sign and everyone walked up to the teleportation altar.

The teleportation altar shined brightly and with excited looks on their faces all of them were teleported away instantly.
